Description
- Medial Branch Block Injections involve injecting a local anesthetic near the medial branch nerves, which are small nerves connected to facet joints in the spine. This diagnostic procedure helps identify the source of pain in the neck or back.
Need for Medical Attention
- Patients with persistent neck or back pain suspected to originate from facet joint issues may undergo medial branch block injections. It helps physicians determine if the facet joints are the cause of pain before considering more invasive treatments.
FAQ
- How long does pain relief from medial branch block injections last?
The relief is temporary, providing a few hours to a few days of pain relief. If successful, it may guide subsequent treatments such as radiofrequency ablation.
- Are there risks associated with medial branch block injections?
Risks are minimal but may include infection or bleeding at the injection site. These should be discussed with the healthcare provider beforehand.
